Chapter 960 It Would Be Better for Ning Caichen to Live His Life in Peace!
"I knew the shopkeeper was a reasonable person."
Seeing the shopkeeper being so reasonable, Hao Shuai nodded with satisfaction, and at the same time looked at Ning Caichen who was confused by the shopkeeper's face-changing skills, and said: "Brother Ning, check if this amount is correct."
"Ah~ Ning Caichen, who finally came to his senses, looked at the pile of money in front of him and shook his head hurriedly, saying: "Not so much. The specific amount should be checked in the account book."
"Shopkeeper, did you hear that? Please take out the stub." Hao Shuai said.
Ning Caichen's reaction was completely within Hao Shuai's expectations. As a modest gentleman, Ning Caichen naturally did not want to take property that did not belong to him.
"Okay~Okay~~" The shopkeeper who was stared at by Hao Shuai did not dare to make trouble, and hurriedly took out the stub of the account and handed it to Ning Caichen.
Ning Caichen searched for a while and soon found the account of Jibaozhai, saying: "Shopkeeper, you see it says seventy taels, right! "
After saying that, Ning Caichen took out seventy taels of silver from the silver coins on the counter and put them in his arms.
"Here~ I'll return the rest to you." Hao Shuai pushed the remaining money back to the shopkeeper and said, "We are all scholars, and we are reasonable. We won't take what is not ours."
The shopkeeper looked at the transparent palm print, swallowed his saliva, and said, "Yes~Yes~~, both of you are reasonable people."
Here, Ning Caichen, who successfully collected the account, said happily, "Thank you, Brother Hao, this time. To express my gratitude, I would like to invite you and Miss Xin to dinner."
Although Ning Caichen didn't know why the shopkeeper paid the money obediently, he knew it must be because of Hao Shuai, so he thought of inviting Hao Shuai to dinner.
For Ning Caichen's invitation, Hao Shuai looked at the sky and saw that it was noon time, so he was not in a hurry to go to Lanruo Temple, so he said happily, "Then I will obey your order! "
Ning Caichen saw Hao Shuai agreed, and hurriedly asked Hao Shuai and Shisiniang to sit at a nearby table.
The shopkeeper saw that Hao Shuai, the evil star, not only did not leave, but also sat down to eat, and his face suddenly became bitter, but he did not dare to say anything, so he could only ask the waiter to treat Hao Shuai and the other two well.
Perhaps he was really hungry, or perhaps to thank Hao Shuai for his righteousness, Ning Caichen, who had money in his hand, ordered several hard dishes according to the menu. Later, Hao Shuai dissuaded him, otherwise he would have wanted to continue ordering.
After a while, the wine and food ordered by Ning Caichen were served.
Ning Caichen picked up the wine pot, first filled Hao Shuai's glass, then filled himself, and finally picked up the wine glass, saying: "Thank you, brother Hao, for your righteous help. Come, I'll toast you with this glass! "
After saying that, Ning Caichen raised his head and drank it in one gulp.
In response, Hao Shuai also picked up the wine glass and drank a glass with Ning Caichen.
After toasting, Ning Caichen greeted Hao Shuai, then picked up the chopsticks by himself, and ate and drank like a starving ghost.
Hao Shuai on the side did not make fun of him. The poor kid must be starving. After all, as a penniless man, he didn't even have a steamed bun to eat all day.
In order not to embarrass Ning Caichen, who was treating the guests, Hao Shuai invited Xin Shisinian to eat heartily.
After a while of eating and filling his stomach, Ning Caichen burped and apologized to Hao Shuai.
Hao Shuai, who had already known Ning Caichen's situation, naturally didn't take it to heart, and asked: "Brother Ning, what are your plans next?"
"I plan to rest in the inn for one night, and set off to go home tomorrow to study behind closed doors." Ning Caichen said: "With the reward from Jibaozhai, it is enough for me to take the imperial examination. "
"Then I wish Brother Ning success in the imperial examination." Hao Shuai said sincerely.
After hearing that Ning Caichen had no intention of going to Lanruo Temple, Hao Shuai secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that no one will compete with me for Xiao Qian!"
But it is true that no normal person would go to the wilderness to stay overnight for no reason. In the plot, Ning Caichen had no money and had no choice but to go there. Now that he has money in his hands, he will naturally not suffer that pain.
"Then I will accept your good words." Ning Caichen said politely.
"It's getting late, and I have something else to do, so I will leave first." Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Hao Shuai stood up and said goodbye to Ning Caichen.
"Then Brother Hao, we will meet later." Ning Caichen sent Hao Shuai and Xin Shisiniang out of the inn.
"Brother Ning, see you later! "
After saying that, Hao Shuai patted Ning Caichen on the shoulder, turned around and left the inn with Xin Shisinian.
...
Walking on the street of Guobei County~~
Xin Shisinian, who had been silent until now, finally couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "Sir, what did you do just now?"
"Oh~ Nothing, just a spell that can make people automatically ignore Ning Caichen, so that he can return home safely. "Hao Shuai knew what Xin Shisinian was asking, so he explained.
It turned out that when they parted just now, Hao Shuai took the opportunity to pat Ning Caichen on the shoulder and hit him with a seal.
Now that the sky is so chaotic, Ning Caichen still carries 70 taels of silver with him. I'm afraid he will be killed before he leaves Guobei County.
This is not what Hao Shuai wants to see~~
In Hao Shuai's opinion, that face looks very much like his brother! It's better to live a peaceful life!
What kind of female ghost~~Thousand-year-old tree demon~~Thousand-year-old centipede demon~~Let Hao Shuai deal with these!
Xin Shisinian: "Young Master is very optimistic about Ning Caichen, and it seems that he has known him for a long time?"
"It's okay! ! "Hao Shuai laughed and said: "I just like him more. "
Suddenly, Hao Shuai saw a stall selling paintings on the corner of the street. With his sharp eyes, he immediately recognized that the stall owner was the boss who sold Nie Xiaoqian's portrait to Ning Caichen in the movie plot.
So he walked to the stall and looked carefully.
Sure enough, after a while, Hao Shuai found a portrait of a beautiful woman washing her hair hanging in the corner of the stall. The woman in the painting was beautiful and charming. He immediately asked the boss: "How much do you sell this painting for?"
When the boss saw Hao Shuai and Xin Shisinian's clothes, he knew that he had met a big fat sheep. He immediately said: "My guest, you have a good eye. You can see at a glance that this is the best quality painting on my stall. Look at this painting skill~~"
"Don't talk nonsense, just tell me how much it costs!" Hao Shuai rudely interrupted the boss's nonsense.
"Meeting is fate. Since the customer likes it, I will reluctantly charge you one hundred taels!" The boss said loudly.
"One hundred taels? Why don't you rob it!" After such a period of entering the world, Xin Shisinian, who has a basic concept of money, immediately got angry.
"It's okay, one hundred taels, right?" Hao Shuai took out the silver and threw it to the boss, saying, "Take it!"
The boss took the silver and bit it with his teeth happily. After confirming that it was real, he quickly put the painting away and handed it to Hao Shuai, complimenting him, "Sir, you are so generous. Only you deserve such a beautiful painting~~"
After Hao Shuai put the painting away, he immediately took Xin Shisiniang away from the painting stall.
After walking a few steps, Xin Shisiniang said angrily, "Sir, that man is obviously trying to rip us off. How can a painting cost one hundred taels!"
"I know, but for me, it's easier to just use money to get rid of him than to waste time on the stall owner." Hao Shuai said calmly.
Having reached this level of realm, Hao Shuai rarely cares about ordinary people.
Besides, he is familiar with physiognomy and can see at a glance that the boss will have a bloody disaster in the near future...
